Pixiv Inc.'s 3D model studio that allows Vtubers to create and use avatars for commercial and non-commercial use is brought to Steam, making the free program accessible to any Windows or Mac user.

Virtual entertainers, also known as Vtubers, have been on the rise in the last couple of years. They're typically in the style of anime characters and might cover any corner of YouTube with the virtual avatars, such as reaction videos, gaming, and especially song and dance. Kizuna Ai is the biggest Vtuber, with a total of over 4 million subscribers. Korone is another popular gaming Vtuber, who is signed with the gaming subgroup of hololive, as Vtube streaming has proven to be a successful form of entertainment in recent years.

Pixiv originally started as an online community for artists to share their work online but has since begun developing software such as Drawr. More recently, the company developed Vroid Studio, which allows anyone to create 3D models of humanoid characters for the purpose of Vtubing or simply just a fun art medium. Over the holidays, Vroid was released on Steam for free, where many more users have downloaded the program either for fun or to get their Vtubing careers up and running.

Many reviews on Steam comment that Vroid is very easy to use: "You don't need to be artistic to use the program." The software is easy to learn with some time, but there are also many tutorials on YouTube that show how to create a detailed Vtube avatar and use it for videos.

And avatars created with Vroid can be imported to other programs as well, such as Unity and Blender, and games like VR Chat.
